During Thursday’s Hawaii Bowl game between the University of Cincinnati Bearcats and the San Diego State University Aztecs, Bearcats wide receiver Chris Moore showed his Christmas spirit by giving away a game ball to one of the few fans at the game.
The only problem is that the referees were not feeling as jolly, calling Moore for an unsportsmanlike penalty to take 15 yards off of his 47-yard catch.
Carolina Panthers star quarterback Cam Newton has made it a tradition to give away a ball to a young fan when his team scores.
